BERRON WAS BORN IN 2002 WHEN

Wizards of the Coast launched

a worldwide search for a new

campaign setting. I imagined a

world of swashbuckling adventure

and dark fantasy, a place where magic formed

the foundation of civilization. Over the course of

the next year I worked with a team of amazing

that core idea, and the end result was the -JMZZWV

+IUXIQOV;M\\QVO In the years that followed, a

host of authors, designers, and dungeon masters

across the world have continued to expand and

explore this setting.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, providing an overview

of the core themes of the setting and the rules to

connect them to current campaigns. It explores

the continent of Khorvaire and the great city of

Sharn. <PM ?IaÅVLMZ¼[/]QLM provides ideas and

hooks for compelling adventures, as well as an

appendix with a list of sources you can use to

learn more about the setting.

Bear in mind: this book presents Uavision

of Eberron. This is the world I run at my own

table, and the way that I’ve converted its ideas

appear in a D&D book. Beyond that: Eberron

is aW]Zworld as much as it is mine. I hope that

this book provides you with

inspiration, but don’t

be limited by my

ideas or decisions.

Think of this

as something

you can

build upon,

not a codex of

absolute law.
